Maskey - DUP knows it will have to deal with Sinn Féin

South Belfast Sinn Féin representative Cllr. Alex Maskey has responded to
today‚s comments from Dr. Ian Paisley as political fantasising.

Cllr. Maskey said:

"The DUP demand for the disbandment of Sinn Féin is as farcical and
unrealistic and unrealisable as their demand for a re-negotiation of the
Good Friday Agreement.

"The reality is that Sinn Féin is supported by the majority of the
nationalist community in the north. The reality is that there will be no
renegotiation of the Good Friday Agreement. Some of Dr. Paisley‚s party
colleagues know, and privately accept, this. Today‚s comments are less
about Sinn Féin and more about constraining those in the DUP who accept that
they will have to come to terms with and deal with Sinn Féin."ENDS
